Why have the FBI and DOJ focused on traditional Catholics? There are more conservative Protestants. However, the majority are fundamentalist Baptist, Bible church or Pentecostal/charismatic and are dispensational. As such, they are inclined to wait for the Rapture rather than be drawn into violent talk. There are traditional Lutherans, Reformed/Presbyterians, and Church of Christ adherents who are amillennial like the traditional Catholics, but there numbers are few. Mennonites, traditional Orthodox Christians, fundamentalist Mormons,and Ultra Orthodox Jews are focused on their own communities and again are small in numbers.

Additionally, the traditional Catholics have effectively seceded from the liberal Catholic hierarchy, a bigger step than in the Protestant world, where as soon as the pastor shows signs of liberalism, conservatives just move to a more Biblical congregation. The Deep State believes that the large numbers of Catholics who despise Pope Francis and the American bishops pose a threat to the regime. So they use the FBI to engage in entrapment techniques the agency has used for decades.

I agree with that general assessment.

“They are inclined to wait for the Rapture” is an interesting choice of words. Christians have been “waiting” for 1500 years. Is that what God wanted do you think? For us to wait? Why don’t we “work” towards the rapture instead of using it as a form of fire insurance? For instance, by expressing the truth on every occasion that we can and supporting those who are having difficulty. Or even by loving each other and not tearing our brothers apart. Etc.

I think what you mean are, Why have the FBI and DOJ only focused on traditional Catholics? There are more numbers of conservative Protestants

The first question presupposes that the powers that be are not focused on conservative Protestants, but which I am sure they are. However TradCaths are more easily focused upon since their sects are more distinct than conservative Protestants, as the later are spread out among numerous denominations and churches.

The real reason is that Biden is an apostate Catholic and there are numerous people just like him in government. As a general rule, apostates hate actual devout Catholics like poison. Anything they can do to suppress the devout practice of the Faith is a bonus for them.
